Review: 7/10

C. S. Lewis did a great job building upon the first book with this one. Bring in old characters that the reader knows and building on that with new characters and details. I feel that one could read this book on its own and enjoy it but that with each Narnia book you read it makes the other better along with it. This book has more of a medial age feel to it. Taking place in castles and having knights about. The world of Narnia has taken on a new view with the Witch dead.
